Testimony by some of the earlier victims may play a role in establishing past behavior, as happened in the Cosby case, but the actual case is only for what he is alleged to have done to the two women he has been charged with assaulting. I believe that some of the allegedly assaulted women (one of whom I personally know) other than those in the indictment have been interviewed by the prosecutor; and possibly testified to the Grand Jury. I don't know how much of this can be put into evidence but I am pretty sure the PA State's Attorney knows what (s)he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George's attorney will fight to minimize the permissible number, while the prosecution will fight to be permitted to call as many as possible. The judge will decide how many will be permitted, trying balance the need to establish the pattern against "piling on" and impacting the jury's ability to render a verdict on ONLY the two women that are part of the case. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, one of the articles I just reread today stated that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah keep forgetting the severence is from YEA umbrella and not just Cadets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. keep in mind also that if he is convicted on these charges, there may be an opportunity for the other victims to testify at the sentencing hearing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him passing on the preliminary hearing is a missed opportunity for his defense to get out ahead of things. This usually means they are about to make a plea deal or just pled guilty. This may never go to trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipping the prelim just shortens discovery. No loss for the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
